  1. @bakphx1 agree with everything other than this statement: This is very subjective and varies case to case. This is the last chance for USCIS to scrutinize entire immigration history and deport somebody. Not always it is easy and straightforward. It should not be taken lightly. It's probably the most part of immigration journey. I totally agree it's worth filing for N-400 if the goal is to become a US citizen. Even if I-751 is pending.
  2. Congrats, that's a blazing fast approval. Looks like USCIS is playing game of improving statistics 😃
  3. You need an official letter from police explaining why they cannot provide certificate. Maybe this could help. Are you sure they're not just being lazy? What country is it?
  4. It's random and unpredictable. You can read the forums, even for naturalization. Sometimes it shows 1 day to decision and it actually takes months. Sometimes it shows 6 months to decision when people already get their immigration benefit. You can roll a dice and get a better prediction. The timeline you shared makes no sense. There's no way you'd be 5 weeks away when you filed in March of this year.
  5. Everything is possible, if you get a picky adjudicator and they put effort into research. Do you have evidence to suggest you only came for a month? Such as copy of email / other communication with employer about taking a vacation for a month, return flights, other appointments and obligations back home?
  6. Civil Surgeon is the boss unfortunately. You have to convince them. A letter may not be enough. Do you have a stack of papers showing medical history explaining why the mother cannot get the vaccine?
  7. You shouldn't translate it yourself, but you don't have to pay 70 GBP. You can ask anybody who is proficient in your language and English to translate and certify it.
  8. Yes you use British passport to purchase airfare and enter the UK. On return trip, you use British passport and GC to board the plane and enter the US.
  9. You cannot use your primary residence house as an asset. Give them what they want - a qualifying joint sponsor. Based on what you're describing so far, you don't have assets you can use for I-864.
  10. User last visited April 20, 2023, three days after opening this thread. As much as we all want to get a closure, I doubt we'll get an update.
  11. Like in any abusive marriage situation: 1) Make copies of all vital documents. Electronic copies and physical copies 2) Put away important docs out of sight 3) Make sure all emails, social media accounts, phone passwords are secure 4) Keep calm as much as you can, do not engage in verbal arguments 5) Do not share plans about divorce, your next actions etc.
  12. You likely won't get denied, but you may receive RFE or asked for it during interview if you have one. The worst thing you can do is not declare it on the forms.
  13. It can go up any moment too. It's a random number.
  14. You're fine, don't need to wait much longer. As long as you're marrying for love and not for immigration, you're OK.
  15. How soon after him entering on F-1? Let's say, if he marries you after another year of studies, for example, there's 0 problem if he didn't have immigrant intent all this time. If he marries you a day after he arrives in the US, there may be a problem.
  16. If you count from application to becoming LPR (e.g. receiving GC), which is the end goal for both K-1 and CR-1, K-1 takes much longer.
  17. Joint sponsor is the easiest route to go if you have somebody with qualifying income willing to help. I wouldn't lose the precious time trying to find a workaround.
  18. Stop paying attention to estimated processing time. It's a random number, you can get a better prediction rolling a dice.
  19. How long did you have J-1? How long after entering on J-1 are you planning to file AOS? Are you sure you can adjust status? Who's the petitioner?
  20. Yes many are probably eligible by now.
  21. Just to add, essentially if your soon to be ex seeks public benefits, the agency who provided those benefits can come to you asking to reimburse all they paid. That's all that is. AFAIK typically you won't be contacting / paying your ex directly. But child support, alimony is a separate matter.
